Our son Michael went into serious clinical depression and began cutting along with other things. We began counselling, testing, etc. and he continued until he had a very bad cut on the top of his hand. As I bandaged it I asked if he thought of suicide when he did that and he responded, "What else would be the point?"

We have been going through hell for the past year and it peaked back through the month of June.   I'll tell you all about it at another time, but basically he tried to commit suicide three times, threatened to kill himself, his girlfriend, her mother, and us.

I'll hit the high points of details later here, but trying to access help was completely frustrating and we can now tell you exactly what caused Virginia Tech and Columbine...........

I haven't talked about this here for a lot of reasons but we're slowly emerging from the woods. Hold a good thought.
